Subject: pgsql: Warn on password auth with MD5-encrypted passwords

Message-ID: <E1wetaZ-000ubB-0X@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Warn on password auth with MD5-encrypted passwords

Commit bc60ee860 added a connection warning after successful MD5
authentication, but only for the md5 authentication method. A role with
an MD5-encrypted password can also authenticate via the password method,
which left that path without the same deprecation warning.

Emit the MD5 deprecation connection warning after successful
password authentication as well, when the stored password is
MD5-encrypted.

Backpatch to v19, where the MD5 connection warning was introduced.
